[VERSE 1]
It's easy to watch sh** that's pa**ive, the obsession is drastic
You more focused with some actors' life, while yours slowly pa**es, by
By, that's why I move at my own pace, and I'm so straight
Headed the wrong way, but I don't trace
Ho wait, no team, I carry my own weight
I hold face, steady flow, f** if they going hate
When I'm on, what they going say?
No space, went from no name, to a story, that you could unload on Broadway
Sister raped, nephew's my brother now, dad's responsible
Staring at my pops at the hospital, when I promised to
Step it up, and raise'em like a man, and be a father too
Seen no hope in the doctor's eyes, he's like "there's nothing I can do"
Could've been a part of the hottest group, that's an honor too
sh**, here's the truth, two wanted me in, not the other two
Crooked told me, “Nino if you ain't in, then I'm out the group”
I told him, “No homie, you do ya thing, that is not the move,”
How am I bitter, if I moved aside, with a guided view?
I took this lane, you might not get it, that's just what riders do
b**h, I'm glad that you ain't me, cuz I would cry for you
Since you apply how you would feel to me, now look what I could do
Guess I'm more man than you, if you couldn't stand the hand they handed you
We're just different mammals, I handle my handle dude
They tend to spit with no filter but my defense is quick
When I try to speak on my behalf it's "Why so sensitive?"
Don't mind the skeptics, but I don't comply to censorship
It's eye for an eye, you poke at mines, I'm at ya retina b**h
Love me or hate me, f** it I don't care
If you don't like what you seeing, then don't stare
[HOOK]
And that time's come
I opened myself to the world, I heard the screams, shouts, love, fake cheers, and
The doubts
If I get, no love, no love
So be it, I ain't grieving, I'm still blessed
Used to try decipher the which from the which
But you'll see nothing exist, if you sit where I sit
Guess I get no love, no love
f** it I'm still blessed
[VERSE 2]
In this life, no thriller ends, the devil sends, that h**n
The seven sins, is prevalent, here the hero never wins
Then again, all this pessimism that's withering
Within, leaves me undriven, I think I need some Ritalin
I know what it's like in that dark room that you sitting in
Ya chips are thin, you getting slim, tryna change what you picturing
Gas bill f**ed, and ya praying, wishing the winter end
Asking soon, moms like no, you cry “When will it then?”
These oil corps, are indilligent, drop waste and drill in Latin countries
They k**ing the poor it's sickening
I'm getting off topic; it's worth it, so just keep listening
Cause at the minimum, at least you got a hidden gem
The past haunts, it hurts now like I was feeling then
But only when I think of mistakes, the plot is thickening
I ain't think twice when I made all off my decision then
Some folks I kept close, these days ain't even distant friends
Weathering the storm, and these women ain't how you picture'em
I'm hip to'em, they like to play so innocent
Meanwhile they more evil than, George Zimmerman, taking flicks of him, eating
Skittles then, sending'em to Tray's family posed in a villain grin
Ever loved a girl even after that bitter end
But couldn't rebuild that feeling the wounds was just too indolent
My peeps tell me, don't worry it'll get better, man
But f** that element, I'm tryna be a better, man
So now I do for me, this ain't for show, (how it's supposed to be)
On these road to riches, hope my flow can chauffeur me
And everything that was close, will seem afar in sight
Nope, rewind that back, I said will seem of foreign sight
I'm moving on ain't no looking back what I lose is gone
Take my baggage unload a brag bit into a stupid song
I right my wrongs k**ed that life of a don
I'm back in that dark room I mentioned earlier, but now that light is on
